Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Nginx releases and lifecycle.
Should I use Nginx mainline or stable?
Mainline is recommended for most users by the Nginx team. It gets all new features and bug fixes first. Stable only receives critical fixes.
Does Nginx have formal end-of-life dates?
The open-source version does not have formal EOL dates. Old branches simply stop receiving patches when new ones release. Always run the latest in your chosen branch.
How often is Nginx version data updated?
Version data is refreshed every 6 hours from endoflife.date, which aggregates official Nginx announcements.
What about Nginx Plus?
This tracker covers open-source Nginx. Nginx Plus is a commercial product managed by F5 Networks with its own separate release lifecycle and support terms.
